STATUS BAR BRIGHTNESS & VOLUME

FAQ

The app stops working after a while

This is related to the device you are using and isn't an issue with the app. Make sure battery optimisations for the app are disabled.

How can I make the custom status bar transparent?

As stated in the app, this is not possible. The custom status bar overlays the original status bar, but there is no way to hide the original status bar. There is no fix for this.

Nothing happens when I try and open an app with a gesture or when tapping the ticker text

If you are using MIUI, make sure the "Display pop-up while in background" permission is granted. You can find this by opening Super Status Bar in the app list in the Settings app.

I have purchased Premium, but the Premium features are still locked

For some reason Google hasn't synced your purchase yet.

It usually fixes itself after you update your apps in the Play Store by: Tapping the account button at the top right, then tapping 'Manage apps and device', then either updating your apps or tapping 'All apps up to date' and then tapping 'Check for updates'.

I cant enable the Accessibility Service

If a toast message is appearing saying that an app is blocking the dialog, make sure you disable the Draw Overlay permissions for all apps before enabling the Accessibility Service.

If you cant see the app in the list, tap 'More downloaded services' or similar.

Otherwise, try restarting your device.

I've granted the permissions but I can't enable the app (or nothing happens when it is enabled)

Restarting your device should fix this. If it doesn't, try reinstalling the app.

How do I hide the notification in the notification panel for the app

Long press the notification to hide it

Auto brightness is turned off when I change the brightness

Unfortunately Android does not let apps change the auto brightness level all of the time. You can try enabling the "Allow changing auto brightness" option in Extras, but this may not work due to Android limitations.

    Some features require ADB to function. Overall, the app performs impressively. I plan to extend my trial period. Even with the notch setting not functioning, everything else runs smoothly. The app genuinely delivers on its promises, so it deserves a solid 5-star rating. I'm thrilled with it! Update: Everything is working flawlessly now. No issues to report at all! This app truly stands out and the upgrade is absolutely worth the money!

    I have some issues with the app. The status bar doesn’t hide when my phone goes into landscape mode or when I use full-screen apps. This really affects my experience. I would rate it higher if those changes happened. I see potential in the app and enjoy some features, but the notification bar gets in the way when I watch videos or play games. Because of this, I’m giving it a 2-star rating and deleting it. It’s just not useful for me right now.

    What a fantastic tool! It brings back that empowered feeling. Google really dropped the ball on custom status bars not showing up during quick notifications. It’s disappointing but still, having a custom status bar is worth it. On the Google Pixel 7 Pro with stock Android 13, the feature for Notch or hole punch compatibility doesn’t adjust items around the camera hole. That’s a letdown.

    Samsung's OneUI doesn't play nice with this. The signal bars show only 1 or 2, while the original status bar displays a full five bars of 5G. When you slide down for quick settings, it completely vanishes and doesn't appear on the lock screen either. It might perform better on heavily modded phones or different UIs, but definitely not with Samsung's OneUI.

    I purchased the premium version of the app. All advertised features work as expected, and it launches smoothly with Android, which is fantastic. I noticed a few issues. The "connected to a bluetooth device" icon stayed visible even after turning off Bluetooth. This happened with all available styles, like iOS, MIUI, and Material. Some icons displayed in the wrong spots and overlapped each other, like the WIFI icon clipping into the battery and Flight Mode icon. A restart resolved these glitches.

    This app is a game changer! Absolutely essential for me. I don’t have to squint at the screen just to check the time, battery, or service bars. The brightness control? Brilliant! Just one slide on the bar. No more double-swipe chaos to adjust it. Had to figure out how to bypass Samsung's battery settings, but "Don't Kill my Apps" really helps. Highly recommend this app!

    This utility brings so much joy. A recent Android update introduced a bug. The Status Bar stays visible during full-screen apps, which disrupts the experience. It’s frustrating, yet the other features shine and make it worthwhile. I wonder if active development continues. Fingers crossed for a fix soon.
